An overview of the areas where we are looking at improving the user experience, and where we already have directions and decisions.


== Priorities in upcoming releases ==
For upcoming releases, check out [[Firefox/Projects/UX Priorities 3.7|UX priorities for Firefox 3.7]]
 
=== UX Team Priorities for Firefox 3.7 ===
 
* [[Firefox/Projects/3.7 and 4.0 Theme and UI Revamp|New Theme]] for Windows, OS X, Linux (shorlander + everyone)
* [[Firefox/Projects/Home Tab|Home Tab and App Tabs]] (limi, faaborg)
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Places_UI Places improvements] (faaborg)
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Tab_Matches_in_Awesomebar Tab matching in AwesomeBar] + retiring the old URL dialog (limi)
* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Doorhanger_notifications Notifications] (faaborg)

* [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Eradicate_Startup_Dialogs Eradicate startup dialogs] (faaborg)
 
No direct UI changes, but improves the general user experience:
* [[Firefox/Projects/Resource Packages|Resource Packages]] (limi with vlad)
 
Nice-to-haves:
* Theme change for private browsing mode
* Turn off unneeded system level notifications (growl, toast) users don't need real time updates about updates
* Session restore improvements (limi, faaborg)
* about:support, about: completion (limi)
* Reduce UI and amount of menus (everyone :)
* Zoom indicator (limi
* Recently closed tabs in tabs pulldown + deemphasize (remove?) visible tabs (limi)
* "Paste and go"? (limi)
* Greater control of plugins (Always load / on click / never)
* Can we get rid of "Work Offline" now? Also make sure that localhost is never offline.
 
Polish areas:
Note that we should be using the polish [https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Polish whiteboard terms and target field in bugzilla] to generate this list
* Tab switching shortcuts still missing on Mac. This is the most common complaint I hear from Safari users.
* Safari parity: reload unsuccessful pages when network returns
